| Not new to forum but.... Ok I have been on the forum now since Aug or July not sure w/o looking at my profile.. It really makes no difference... I joined because of my love of my little fur babies...I was thrilled to find this because there are other people out there that have the same obsession for these little balls of energy as I do. However, since I have been on this forum I have been insulted, ignored and some people are just plain rude. I am not starting this thread to offened any one I am just trying to understand how if we are all here because of our love of these little creatures. How some people can not be nice to the people who own the same little babies that they do??? When I ask questions I am not asking because I already know the answer... if I did then why would I ask??? Also, when I post a comment I am not trying to make any one angry it is just my opinion if it's wrong then please correct me...But, do it nicely!!! I was raised that you treat people the way that you want to be treated. I try with respect, kindness and understanding. Again, I am not saying any of this to make anyone mad but, I just needed to vent this morning. I quit coming in here after the last rude comment some one made to me but, this morning I opened my mail box and yt had sent me a message and said we miss you come back. Thanks for reading my rantings. I hope I didn't upset anyone. Hope everyone has a great day. Laura |

| Hi Laura, I am very sorry that you feel this way. I haven't had a chance to get to know you much, and I would like to get that opportunity. I just looked at the last time you posted (before this) and noticed that you posted some things about your babies that no one responded to. (I would really like an update by the way.) That might have been because we didn't see your posts. If you post in a thread someone else started you might not get answered. It's not intentional on my part at least. I am not making excuses here, but sometimes on the internet it's difficult to communicate words and feelings. Maybe you thought someone was being rude and they didn't mean to come across that way? I hope you decide to stay here and give it another try.

| Thank you for your reply... I am not just talking about my general posts ... the last message I received was in PM and the sender was not nice about Missy's reaction to the shots. I guess I am here trying to give this another chance I was hoping that if I vented a little I would feel better....Guess what...It worked...lol Anyway, I truly love the idea this forum represents. No one understands how much your heart gets wrapped around one of these little furbabies unless they have one/had one. I also, know that there are going to be rude people where ever you go. But, I really was not expecting it here. That was my mistake for being naive. Just because people have the love of the best dogs doesn't make them all nice people. But, on the same note there are some really wonderful people out there (they don't all own yorkies...but, it helps) that are very kind. Anyway, I think I am better for the moment. Thank you again for your understanding. Have a wonderful day. |

Luv my 7 Furkids Donating Member | thats kind of how I have been feeling also. Ive only had Yorkies for 5.5 yrs and have learned something new almost every day. For me because Im not an expert, I often times dont reply, because I figure someone else probably has more info than me. I agree, what this forum stands for, is wonderful. Im glad you vented. Linda |

| Vicki, I really didn't start this to offend any one or single any one out but, there are certain people on here that are very rude and I feel like they try to make others feel stupid. But, like Judy said we have to keep in mind that it is difficult sometimes to convey how or what we are thinking or feeling over the net. I will just have to watch who I am talking to from now on. If they are not nice then I will not talk to them any more. I just want to tell people about my babies that will understand how overly obsessed I am with them because, they have some of the same issues...lol |

| Laura, I totally understand..I'm sure you have the best of intentions as most YT's do..it takes just a few to make it uncomfortable for the rest of us!! Like you said, we ALL want to talk about our precious furbabies and this is what this forum is all about... We'll continue to enjoy YT no matter who does or doesn't respond..I refuse to lump all the good YT with the ones that want to be critical of others situations!! Good Luck to you!! Hope to chat with you in the future!! Vicki |

| Hi Laura - I am so sorry you have felt this way. There are some people on here who can be very rude and opinionated. If you received a nasty PM, please let Admin know about it. That is the only way they can be stopped. I agree that some threads get ignored. It is really easy to a thread to get pushed to the bottom of the board and buried, especially if it is posted early in the day. I hope you will stick around and get to know some people (and we can get to know you). Most YTers are wonderful people and are here for the love of their yorkie. This is a great place for knowledge and we all need to remember how much we didn't know when we started out!!!

| OK so now I am feeling like a complete jerk for starting this...Because, so far some of the nicest people have responded. I guess I should take my own advice "think before you react"...lol I hope that I will be able to continue to chat with all of the wonderful people that I have met now here on yt. I think I will start a new thread a more positive one this time. Have a great day to every one. Laura |

| Glad you didn't let a few meanies run you off. It can feel like a clique here sometimes.

I think we all have had some one on here say something we didn't like from time to time. or have been ignored. here is a great thread Nikki+2 started http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho...hlight=feeling You should read it and see the love here. There are a lot of People on here and soooooo many threads. I am here all the time and still miss things. So Please don't feel left out. If you need anything I will be here for you. I hope you will stick around. and feel free to PM me any time. (((((HUS))))), Lori |

| Ahhh...I hope this thread cheers you up. I read alot, don't start too many threads and if I do they are in the Rescue Section. I sometimes have a few questions, but I try to research the answers first. I am not the best at conveying exactly what I want to say on paper, so most times I keep quite. Anyway, YT is an awesome place. I do agree that 'writen words' can sometimes sound mean, hopefully they are not really meant too, but none the less, no one should recieve mean PMs - please report them if that happens again.
